G-Power BMW E92 M3 RS Aero Package

G-Power has presented their aerodynamics enhancement program for BMW E92 M3.

The “RS” project is completely made from carbon fiber, making the M3 lighter and therefore faster. At the same time the G-POWER “RS” Carbon parts increases the aerodynamic downforce and thus provides for even faster cornering speeds.

The Aero Package includes a new front spoiler, boot lid including tear-off edge, a new hood, custom rear wing or the stock M3 GTS rear wing. The weight reduction from the bonnet and the boot lid is 10,7 kg.

Besides the weight reduction and boosting the down-force, the engine received the SK III Sporty Drive supercharger kit and the engine displacement is now 4.6 liters. The result is 720HP (529 kW).

G-Power BMW G1 V8 Hurricane RS – 314 km/h [video]

The mighty BMW 1-Series tuned from G-Power boasts 600HP and 580Nm of torque.

The power comes from a V8 4.0-liter supercharged engine. This is enough for reaching a top speed of over 330 km/h (205 mph) and staggering acceleration. 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. However, the test driver Christian Gebhardt from sportauto.de managed to it “just” 314 km/h (195 mph), because he drove a prototype with a top speed limiter in the ECU.

Besides the engine swap, the G1 V8 comes with a set of huge 20” alloy wheels, stainless sports exhaust system, a full coilover suspension and some weight reduction thanks to a carbon fiber hood and a trunk lid.

The car also has brutal carbon ceramic brakes in order to handle all that power coming from the engine.

G-POWER Work on a BMW 1M Coupe

G-Power-BMW-1M-Coupe-medium A substantial upgrade for the BMW 1M Coupe is now available at G-Power central. There’s an increase in power, there’s a suspension tweak and there’s some eye candy.

The main point here is that now a 1M Coupe is more powerful than it’s bigger brother – the M3. That’s 435 horsepower and 590 Newton meters of torque (15 hp and 195 Nm more than the M3). That immediately takes us to the question of speed. The G-Power 1M eats up 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. The top speed has been upped to 300 km/h.

To achieve this, the guys at G-Power have had to optimize the flow with some downpipes to reduce the exhaust gas temperature. Further back, there’s a completely new exhaust system that’s 20 kg lighter than a stock one would be mainly because the titanium material used for it. The tail pipes also come in carbon. At the front there’s a larger intercooler and a special G-Power software (Bi-Tronic V3) that takes into account the newfound oily bits.

Suspension-wise, G-Power have worked hard to match the performance. A GM1-RS height-adjustable coil-over kit ensure overall stability. Then there are the 20-inch G-Power Silverstone wheels wrapped in Michelin tires with 255/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20 dimensions front and rear respectively. From behind the double spokes of the front alloys, 396 mm brake discs peak out which get clamped by six-cylinder piston calipers whenever one stomps on the brake pedal.

G-POWER BMW M3 E92 with 720HP

G-Power has announced their latest project again based on BMW M3 E92. This time the sports coupe comes with whopping 720HP thanks to a full engine conversion plus supercharger.

G-Power BMW M3 E92 is powered by a 4.6 liter V8 with supercharger system “Sporty Drive” SKIII. There is also a full titanium exhaust system with carbon tipps with a 23kg weight reduction compared to stock exhaust.

The tuned vehicle also comes with G-POWER coilover suspension CLUBSPORT to minimize the lateral inclination while driving curves. The stance is improved as well as the handling.

The car stands on enormous 20” Silverstone Diamond wheels fitted with Michelin tires for perfect traction.

According to G-Power, this is one of their best conversions and they are more than proud of it.

“Displacement enhancement from 4.0l to 4.6l, 720HP and a lot of fun for our customer!”

G-Power Hurricane BMW M5 RRs

Back in 2010, G-Power created this monster of a thing. It had 800 hp, 780 Nm and held a high-speed record of 372 km/h which was previously owned again by G-Power. Apparently, a great interest has boomed from this and today G-Power are delivering their 100th BMW Hurricane M5 RR. So why not make it special? They have – it’s the Hurricane M5 RRs with even more power and spunk.

Based on the E60, this performance beast harbors a BI-Kompressor „Sporty Drive” system. In other words, two superchargers that are now even bigger than before – a move from ASA T1-313 to ASA T1-316 (clearly visible with that orange cover over them). For the optimum performance, further down the line, that compressed air is efficiently cooled by an intercooler prior to ignition. But it’s not just the lungs that had undergone an operation. The heart has been tweaked as well: All ten pistons (good old E60s were still produced with V10 engines) have been replaced with lighter, more durable and more balanced MAHLE ones. That includes the connecting rods and the piston pins – all heavy duty stuff. Add a little engine management fiddling and you get an end result of 830 hp that get conjured up within the 7,500 and 8,000 rpm range.

With the help of some peripherals like the G-POWER SPEEDFLOW exhaust system that incorporates two, back-pressure reducing racing catalysts and the buffed fuel injectors and pump, the Hurricane RRs is said to reach the 100 km/h threshold in just 4.3 seconds. By the time the stopwatch reaches 9.1, this light blue beast would be doing 200 km/h. Want to hear another bonkers claim? 300 km/h for 25,2 seconds from a standstill!

It should be good on the curves as well – a G-Power RS coilover suspension with nine settings for the compression and rebound can achieve miracles if one knows how to use it. Then there are the brakes which are expected to comply with the new found power – six-piston calipers at the front gripping 396 mm steel brake disks. At the back, you get the slightly less impressive 380 mm ones operated by four-piston calipers. You can get the carbon-ceramic set which will be significantly more expensive but essentially non-fading alternative.

It’s not all stop and go with this jubilee M5 though. The stainless steel muffler with deeptone technology and four 83 mm tail pipes will provide the much needed thunder to shatter glass. The alloy wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires, are equally impressive with their ten double-spoke design. Think in numbers: 255/35 ZR19 tires at the front and 305/30 ZR19 ones at the back.

BMW M3 E46 with 450hp by G-POWER

By today’s standards, it’s an antique. A ten-year old dinosaur. A car that uses coal for fuel. Okey, so we got a bit carried over here. It’s the BMW M3 E46 – a generation before the latest one. Don’t be deceived though. G-POWER, the guys who got their hands on it, say it is now more powerful than the current V8 powered M3.

The performance package installed is called the SK I „SPORTY DRIVE“ and if the figures they give are correct, the word “sporty” is a massive understatement – 450 hp and 460 Nm of torque. That’s a straight six engine we are talking about here. None of the pistons have been changed or altered in any way and the exhaust system is pretty standard. It’s not witchcraft either. No, those additional 107 bhp come from a humongous ASA T1-518 centrifugal supercharger – proper racing tech all the way. With it the venerable M3 can get to 200 km/h in 14,7 seconds (a massive improvement over the standard E46 – 18,1 seconds.). Compare that to the 200 km/h time of the E90 and you get a full second in favor of the G-POWERed predecessor.

One would imagine then, that a more iron fisted stopping power is required as a compliment to the supercharger. Something more up to date maybe. That’s why the package also includes a set of 370 mm front and 342 mm back brake disks that get clamped by calipers that nest up to six brake pistons per wheel. The heat from the significantly bigger pads will be dissipated more efficiently once you exit a corner.

And yes, you would be doing a lot corners. Especially with that new bound, rebound and height-adjustable G-POWER coil-over suspension. Just be careful not to destroy those Michelin Pilot Sport tires that can, and will have to, endure speeds of up to 300 km/h. Probably it would be best just to keep the M in a garage and occasionaly marvel at them, wrapped around 20-inch G-POWER “Sileverstone Diamond” alloy wheels – prime example of how a 450 hp monstrosity can stay light on its feet.

As an optional extra, one can go for the G-POWER sports rear muffler – OEM standard product quality and four 76 mm pipes sticking out from the back. A car like that needs the sound to match the performance.

2012 G-Power BMW M5 F10

2012 G-Power BMW M5 F10 has just arrived at the show room with all the enhancements and customizations delivered by the tuning company G-POWER. Although the new BMW is already very fast, the tuner from G-POWER made it even faster. The G-POWER Bi-Tronik III pushes the factory 560 hp (412 kW)/ 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) to 640 hp (471 kW)/ 777 Nm (573 lb-ft). In addition, to make the transformation of the vehicle complete, there were also included 21 inch G-POWER “SILVERSTONE RS” and “SILVERSTONE CLUBSPORT” alloy wheels with MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tyres in the dimension 265/30 ZR 21 and 305/25 ZR 21, G-POWER coil-over suspension, stainless steel sport rear muffler featuring the legendary G-POWER “DEEPTONE” technology and the G-POWER Ceramic Braking System. All this makes the BMW M5 F10 even sportier and more adorable.

In order to make the car faster, the G-POWER engineers transferred its experience from the area of supercharging to the turbocharged BMW 4.4l V8 engine. The basis for the electronic output increase is the fact that G-POWER used individual solution for the engine. Among others, the parameters for the amount of fuel and the ignition timing are modified depending on the product variance of the engine. In addition, the boost level is moderately increased too. Based on the competence and knowledge coming from the up to 800 hp (588 kW) strong BMW M5 HURRICANE versions, G-POWER has limited the torque figures during the shifting process and thus – reduces the stress for the transmission.

Next, the G-POWER Bi-Tronik III pushed the BMW M5’s standard output of 560 hp (412 kW)/ 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) to 640 hp (471 kW)/ 777 Nm (573 lb-ft) of torque. Of course, this means that the acceleration time will be enhanced too. It takes only 3.9 seconds for the empowered BMW to cover 0 to 100 km/h with a top speed of 315 km/h. The sound of the BMW M5 F10 was improved too. The full stainless steel G-POWER 4-trim sport rear muffler with its 4 x 100 mm tailpipes gives the BMW M5 a deep, throaty sound that turns heads but is at now time annoying, thanks to the patented G-POWER “DEEPTONE” technology.

To go further, the vehicle is equipped with 21 inch G-POWER SILVERSTONE RS and SILVERSTONE CLUBSPORT forged wheels, wrapped with tyres from the G-POWER’s technology partner MICHELIN in the dimensions 265/30 ZR 21 and 305/25 ZR 21. The double spokes, highlight the elegant design of the new BMW M5. More importantly, the G-POWER SILVERSTONE CLUBSPORT wheel is with weight-optimized design that enables a low rim weight with the same stability. The continuously height-adjustable G-POWER coil-over suspension GM5-RS with nine selectable settings each for bound and rebound also improve the suspension. In the car is also featured the G-POWER Braking System, which includes up to six brake pistons and up to 420 mm brake disc diameter for the front axle and 380 mm for the rear axle. The system enables a substantially higher brake force than the standard braking system. The G-POWER brake package is completed by brake pads with a larger pad area, higher friction rate as well as metal-coated brake lines. The result is maximum brake force and precise braking point.

The cost for the 21 inch G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND and SILVERSTONE CLUBSPORT complete wheel set including MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres in the dimension 265/30 ZR 21 and 305/25 ZR 21 is 8.325,00 €, the G-POWER coil-over suspension GM5-RS is 2.179,83,00 € and the G-POWER Ceramic braking system for the front axle is 14.460,50 Euro and 11.778,15 for the rear axle. The output increase with the help of the G-POWER BI-TRONIK III is 3.920,17,00 € including the individual adjustment of to the specific customer car.

G-Power BMW M5

The latest M5 (F10) may be a downsized successor of its previous generation but it still packs a punch, and that is an understatement. It is actually more powerful with less cylinders and less drama. The people from G-Power respect that but, because tuning is what they do, they have added more power to the M performance monster.

What they have done to the “standard” 4.4l V8 engine is to replace the turbo with an ASA supercharging turbine and tune the engine management system in a way so that the power is now up to 640 hp instead of 560 hp and torque has gone from 680 Nm to 777. That setup is not malignant in any way to the engine, say G-Power. That translates into a time of 3.9 seconds for the 100 km/h sprint. For 11,9 the BMW will get to 200 km/h.

Further improvements focus on the acoustics – a G-Power sports rear muffler with 4 x 100 mm tailpipes gives the BMW M5 a deep, throaty sound partly due to the “DEEPTONE” technology patented by the company.

The whole car sits on four 21 inch G-Power Silverstone RS forged wheels, wrapped in Michelin tires. The rear tires are wide enough land a plane on them – 305/25 ZR 21. The front pair is equally impressive with a sizes of 265/30 ZR 21. A big plus for the wheels is the light alloy from which they are made that does not compromise stability. Add that to a highly adjustable G-Power coil-over suspension GM5-RS with numerous settings and you get the perfect street/road car. The thing is, even as a standard car, the M is bound to fade its own brakes overtime. That is why, as a roundup, we have a G-Power Braking System complete with 396 mm brake discs, six-piston calipers. Heat is dissipated more efficiently and the stopping force is stronger than usual because of the larger pads and metal-coated brake lines. And because the system is mainly ceramic, it also saves weight. (up to 50% percent lighter than the standard braking kit)
